SKELETAL SYSTEM Flashcards
study of bone as tissue- its composition, functions, development, and grows
osteology
function of bones
support
protection
hematopoietic function
storage
leverage
function of bones and skeleton responsible for blood cell production
hematopoietic function
hard, dense connective tissue that forms most of the adult skeleton, the internal support structure of the body
osseous tissue
stem cells that give rise to most other bone cell types, occur in endosteum, resulting to osteoblasts
osteogenic cells
bone-forming cells wherein it promotes bone mineralization and synthesize of organic matter
osteoblasts
process of producing bone
osteogenesis
former osteoblasts trapped in the matrix and resides in lacunae which are interconnected by canaliculi
osteocytes
bone-dissolving/resorbing cells
osteoclasts
process of dissolving or resorbing bone
osteolysis
makes up 1/3 of bone and is for toughness and elasticity of the bone; made up of collagen, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
organic elements
makes up 2/3 of bone and is responsible for hardness and brittleness; made up of hydroxyapatite (calcium salts, phosphate, carbonates)
inorganic elements
characteristics of bone
peritoneum
articular cartilage
endosteum
bone marrow
nutrient blood vessels
characteristic of bone that is vascular and is for protection, nutrition, repair and regeneration
peritoneum
characteristic of a bone that comes in contact with another bone to form a joint
articular cartilage
